Splash Pad @ Alys Beach

Up and down Okay. Okay. It HAS been a while. This week I wanted to change things up a bit (from the pool, the beach, etc) and try the splash pad over at Alys Beach. It's on a very open green space for the kiddos to run free as a bird and stay cool in this Florida heat. 

So we packed a lunch and drove over. We spent almost 2 hours there and had a quick and easy lunch. You can't beat the view and the kids were tired just from running in circles and up and down the hills. What fun! There was a donut truck nearby that just started serving frozen yogurt too. We didn't try it, but I'm sure we will soon. 

Would I recommend this place? Um, yes!!! It's so cute and a great place to picnic in the summer! We love how family friendly , and how very well manicured, Alys Beach is. It's one of our absolute favorite spots and we've even been known to take family pictures there. 

There is also a little playground nearby (I need to post about). That's cute.

Such a cute area

Let's all sit on top of this thing...

Chase!

My little Layne took a bit to warm up to the idea 

Up and down. Up and down.

No bro didn't want to join in...

So obsessed with the cement and the little details

Love all of the little spaces in the area

Carillon Beach Town Center (it was freezing!)

It has been super cold here in North Florida the past week!!! There is only a week or two in Florida that you actually have to wear a winter coat, and this was one. 

We ventured out to walk around Carillon. I have never actually taken the time to walk around there at see what it had to offer. It was adorable and small, but EVERYONE was closed. EVERYONE except the gym!!!! What a let down! 

The one saving grace for us to have gotten our little family dressed and in the car were the ducks. Yes, the ducks, it appears as though they are fed because as soon as they noticed us on the dock they swam right over and my little guys was entertained for a few minutes. 

Carillon does have beautiful view. BUT clearly not a family place in the winter. Hopefully it's more lively in the summer and we can make a point to visit then.
